Driving a car may seem like a commonplace event, but it is one of the most dangerous things you can do. Car accidents happen anytime and as drivers, we must pay attention to our surroundings and prepare ourselves for emergencies. Focus on the task at hand and place all smartphones away. In addition, slow down in areas known for pedestrian activity.
